Was the Olds J-2 option unique to 1957 or was it available '58 also?

I understand that individual air cleaners are not original, and the manifolds are common but how hard it is to find the original tri-carb manifold/carb setup with complete linkage with vacuum chamber, brackets, fuel lines and fittings?

I sold a J-2 set up last year on EBay. Carbs looked nice but certainly needed rebuild. No air cleaner, no vacuum set up and just partial linkage for $450........Bob
